- Quotes
Jean Achten: If the Germans find this, what do you think they will do to Louise and her family, hmm? They would torture them until they talked. And when they get the names they needed, they would shoot them. And then they would find the next one and do the same to them. Like pulling the thread on a sweater.
Sgt. William Quinn: I didn't... I'm sorry. It was stupid of me.
Louise: Louise.
[speaking French]
Sgt. Charles K. Bailey: What does that mean?
Jean Achten: Here... stupid means dead.

Sure, episode 4 works to develop the overall show's plot and different character arcs. It highlights some of the characters' flaws and shortcoming, while simultaneously underlining their strengths. It just all feels rather... bland. The dialogue is your run-of-the-mill writing. The romances are seemingly of no importance. Emotions are tossed at you to instantly forget them.
While I can appreciate the effort of having an episode that so clearly wants to explain and set up for what will eventually be the show's plot, it definitely could've done so without having to grasp for cliché after cliché. Having to write these without any spoilers becomes particularly hard during these episodes, but let's just say that what Masters of the Air chooses to make you consume in episode 4 has a general "We all know how this is going to be turning out"-ring to it. Mix that with filler dialogue and nigh numbing emotions, the cold shower after our hot bath feels not rejuvenating, but just cold.
5 out of 10 knots, let's hope the setup is worth it.
